It can be very overwhelming trying to find someone that can understand and support you. I work hard to provide really effective support.

Thank you for working and believing in me Don." In 2020 my clients reported 91% satisfaction with their therapy and would recommend this service to others.

Grief and loss can leave you feeling shattered, as though you will never experience joy again.

If you've ever asked the question, "“What do we do with our family member whose drug use and drinking is out of control?” you are not alone. I started The Chronic Hope Institute with the intention of offering my answer to that question—one I get almost every day. You have a much greater chance for success if the whole family, not just the addict, is engaged in recovery. My plan is quick and to the point so we can triage the immediate problem. Then, only once we put the initial fire out, would we spend more time addressing the bigger issues.
